The incident occurred in the 8500 block of Alpine Ave where the line was reported broken just before 1 p.m. said Sonny Saghera, Public Information Officer.

Crews were on the scene in five minutes and after an initial investigation determined a construction team misjudged the number of lines in the area based on their marked plans and ended up breaking the one, Saghera said.

Several residents were evacuated from their homes and remained outside of the residences for nearly an hour, Saghera added.
